# Adding, Editing, and Deleting SIDs

Changes to SID information are made on the SID Maintenance window.

Adding a SID

If a SID is not imported from Syniverse, it can be added in SID Maintenance.

1. Acess **Applications** **> BackOffice Management > Roaming > SID Maintenance**. This displays the SIDs window.
2. Right-click in the window and select **New**. This displays the Add SID window.

3. Enter the new SID (System Identification Number). Maximum characters: 5.
4. Enter the name of the carrier that owns the SID. Maximum characters: 35. When a new file containing this SID is imported from Syniverse, this name is updated to agree with that file.
5. Enter the location of the SID. When a new file containing this SID is imported from Syniverse, the location is updated to agree with that file.
6. Enter the 2-letter abbreviation of the sate (optional).
7. Enter the name of the country (optional).
8. Select the kind of technology from the Tech Type list (optional).
9. If the new SID is a Company SID (belongs to your company), check the **Is Company SID** check box.
10. If the new SID is a BID (a billing SID), check the **Is BID** check box. IDI and Syniverse do not distinguish between SID and BID, but the information is stored in the database.
11. Click **Save**.

Editing a SID
